Abstract: The value realization of ecological products is a tough issue that needs to be solved urgently in territory spatial planning. There are many ways and means to realize the value of ecological products. Among them, the regional development unfairness, caused by the initial allocation of land development rights in different regions by territory spatial planning, should be partially corrected by ecological land compensation. This paper clarifies the institutional transformation of occupation and compensation balance from cultivated land to ecological land under the framework of territory spatial planning, tries to build a market-oriented trading mechanism of ecological products based on "Ecological Land Voucher", and takes Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei as an example. The results show that: (1) Territory spatial planning provides an institutional basis for the approval of "Ecological Land Vouchers". The transaction is to make up for the loss of land development right caused by territory spatial planning. (2) The difference between the amount of regional ecological land protection in the base year and the target year is defined as "Ecological Land Vouchers". It is proposed that the county-level local governments shall be the main body of the transaction, and the total amount of transactions shall be determined by the national annual plan management. The combination of the reserve price determined by the government and the market transaction pricing shall be adopted. (3) The ecological land is determined into four categories: forest land, grassland, wetland and water area. The area of "standard forest", after the changes of regional natural conditions, GDP and population density, is used to calculate the transaction volume of regional "Ecological Land Vouchers". (4) The case application results of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration show that, from 2010 to 2018, the total demand for "Ecological land Voucher" in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region was 1420200 hm2, mainly in Haidian, Xiqing, Jinnan, Wuqing, and Changli. The total supply of "Ecological land Voucher" is 747300 hm2, mainly from Fangshan, Zhaoxian, Xinglong, Longhua, and Chengde. The research provides new ideas and relatively easy methods for the value realization of ecological products, and tries to help provide theoretical and technical support for the implementation of territory spatial planning and the protection and utilization of land resources for common prosperity.
